Hello All,
My son will be operated on to have his cleft lip fixed this week. It's an
incomplete cleft of the lip and part of the gum. The surgeon explained to
us about the procedure and said that we can continue to breastfeed the baby
(2 month-old) afterward. However, we're deeply concerned that our son may
not want to latch on due to the pain that sucking motion will cause to his
lip. We're expressing milk with a pump and save them just in case we need
an alternative feeding procedure. Here are some question we hope that some
of you may have the answer to:
- Is there a website where we can find article regarding our concerns?
- Do you have any practical advise that can help us with breastfeeding our
son?
- My son will need further surgical procedure performed at around 12 month-
old, do any of you have the same experience?
Thank you in advance for any input you can share.
Regards,
Alan
